iPhone Analog & Power Systems Engineer
Cupertino, CA - USA
Job Summary
As an analog and power systems engineer you are expected to bridge analog circuit design and system-level architecture. This requires a solid understanding of mixed-signal building blocks (op-amps filters ADCs/DACs output drivers) power conversion topologies (switching regulators linear regulators switched capacitors) charging systems (wired and wireless) and low-power sensor interfaces. You should be comfortable addressing system-level challenges including power sequencing interference mitigation PCB layout thermal management and digital interface design.
Plan system and subsystem power/charging architecture including IO trees power policies and charging strategies (wired and wireless)nDraft and review IC datasheets and specifications; distill system requirements into IC definitionsnConduct IC design reviews and manage bug tracking throughout the full design cyclenDrive and participate in system-level discussions on power management charging battery management and analog subsystem integrationnParticipate in IP development schematic and layout reviewsnLead or assist in prototype bring-up hardware demonstration and lab debuggingnPerform bench verification of functional and parametric characteristics including automation scriptingnConduct signal characterization across power charging and analog signal domainsnProvide production test support manufacturing support and field issue resolutionn
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalentn3 years of industry experiencenStrong EE fundamentals: power conversion analog circuits (op-amps filters ADCs/DACs) noise linearity and signal integrity in mixed-signal systemsnHands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscope power analyzer digital meter etc.) and circuit prototyping characterization and debuggingnStrong verbal and written communication skillsn
Experience in one or more of the following areas:n Power management: SMPS linear regulators PMIC system power architecture camera flash/laser driversn Charging systems: wired/wireless charging high-efficiency DC-DC converters battery management (gas gauge BMU charger ICs)n Analog/mixed-signal: low-power sensors and sensor interfaces audio analog circuits mixed-signal subsystem integrationnExperience collaborating across hardware software mechanical and thermal engineering disciplinesnStrong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and drive complex tasks to completionnEffective presentation skills and comfort working with IC vendors and contract manufacturersnMS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
